When Spielberg asked John Williams to write the score for Schindler’s List he showed him an early cut of the movie. Williams stood up and walked out of the screening room. He came back in a few minutes later crying and said “you need someone better than me to write music for this.” And Spielberg said “I know, but everyone better than you is dead.”
A backhanded complement?
@@MrConsto He's saying he is the greatest composer currently living, lol.
there are also very few directors who understand the use of music as an integral part of the film experience the way that Spielberg does.
put Spielberg and Williams together and if you don't get a masterpiece you STILL get a film that's better than 90% of what's put out there.
Lie
@@raymondxia228 while also saying he does in fact need someone better than him but given that the people he would prefer are dead, he is the best that will do
That violin cries and sobs in the face of that enormous tragedy and all the tragedies that afflict the world of yesterday and today. Thank you, John Williams, for this heartbreaking, soul-awakening music!

@@aldoringo439 I'm not sure if I understand your comment correctly, so I can't comment on it.
I watched Schindler's List twice in my life - once in the cinema with my school class (as a student, not as a teacher) - and the second time as an adult, because I wanted to make sure I could process the movie with the thoughts of an adult. When I watched it as a teen with my class, I felt ashamed afterwards - ashamed of being German. In the same month when we went to cinema to watch Schindler's List, maybe a week or two after we watched the movie, we got a visitor in school. His name was Alex Deutsch - he was a survivor of Auschwitz. He told us about it. I felt even more ashamed. Especially double so because my grandfather was a member of the Waffen SS. I asked Mr. Deutsch if I could shake his hand. I told him that I was sorry. He answered that it was his pleasure to shake my hand and that I had no reason to be sorry, because I wasn't even born when it all happened and had no part in it. I'm incredibly thankful to have been able to shake this mans hand. Years later, when I watched the movie for the second (and last time) I realized that it was up to me, up to us all who are adults today to make sure nothing like this could ever happen again. I made peace with myself. I made peace with my grandfather - even if he was part of that system, to me he was just my grandfather. And I loved him dearly and I'm not ashamed to admit that. I wouldn't try to find a reasoning for what he might have done in the war - IF he did something that goes beyond the duty of a normal soldier, then it is like it is and I'm not responsible for that. Because I wasn't even born at that time. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE anymore for what happened back then. But WE ARE RESPONSIBLE for what happens now. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE to make sure NO ONE EVER FORGETS ABOUT IT. We are allowed to live free from guilt - remembrance DOES NOT EQUAL guilt. It took me years to realize that. I do my very best every day to make sure it won't ever happen again. I can only hope that there are enough people left in Germany who think like me to make sure it never happens again.
Thank you for your kind heart, this will never be forgotten.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me.
"First they came ..." is the poetic form of a prose post-war confession first made in German in 1946 by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller. It's an extract.
My father was shot in the Second World War at Dunkirk. He wasn't bitter and never spoke a bad word about the Germans.
Beautifully said
I highly commend you for your conveying, in the most heartfelt and beautiful way, your thoughts over seeing this movie, being of German heritage and the impact it had on you. And if I may, you don’t have to capitalize your words to stress the importance of what your saying, your words speak volumes. Thank you!
I think this is exactly the way that chapter of human history should be viewed, especially for Germans. You're not at fault for what your ancestors did. Never forget.
It just feels so unreal, that atrocity happened less than 100 years ago. I can't fathom the pain and suffering those folks went through, particularly the emotional and psychological pain. God rest them, and God bless Schindler and others like him. 🙏🙏
And Jews around the world are experiencing the same hatred again now
@jeremydann not jews. The killers that are committing the same atrocities that were done to their ancestors decades ago. And many jews do not condone the genocide that is currently happening in Gaza. There are jews and then there are radicalists. The ones committing murder are not jews.
@@jeremydannthey brought it upon themselves. They could have done good but they chose to do wrong.
@@yousefalshiekh4074 really? We brought this on ourselves? Try counting how many Nobel prizes in all the categories have gone to Jews. Try looking at all the inventions both technology and medical wise come from Jews and then tell me we didn’t choose to do good. Considering that Jews are one of the smallest minorities in the world .2% of the world population, you cannot accuse them of “not doing good”
Brilliant performance and you can see how much it affects the orchestra and also the audience. So very moving.
Pour la petite histoire, si Davida Scheffers est émue aux larmes c’est, d’une part, dû à l’émotion transmise dans la musique, mais surtout parce qu’étant atteinte d’une maladie neuromusculaire grave, qui avait mis fin à sa carrière musicale des années auparavant, elle ne pensait pas être capable de rejoindre un orchestre et encore moins de jouer un solo.
А молодая женщина в зале,это еë дочь@@steph5197
The English Horn player has MS and her illness was progressing. This was the last time she was able to play with the orchestra. Her 18 year old daughter is the blonde girl in the audience. Totally moving and she put her whole life into this final piece 😢
I am crying for the first time in years after listening to this piece of art, I really cannot express the true scale of my appreciation towards all the musicians, especially the oboe player, I am so sorry for her loss, Godspeed to her.

When Steven Spielberg first showed John Williams a cut of this movie, Williams was so moved he had to take a walk outside for several minutes to collect himself. Upon his return, he told Spielberg he deserved a better composer. Spielberg replied, "I know, but they're all dead."
Omg that’s so sad 😞
You really hope a story like that is true. Williams is a modern day master that simply isn't appreciated enough in the 'download' era. If Beethoven or Mozart or any of the greats had composed this then they would have been lauded.
@@anyoldironhammer8723 this is possibly the most well known piece of orchestral music written in the last 50 years, alongside all of John Williams' other work. There's literally nothing unappreciated about John Williams

When I think than some horribles persons says in 2024 that was a lie I have a sort of hate.
What it actually was like in the end can only be told by those who actually experienced it. We don't know whether everything really happened like that at all times in every concentration camp. Because there were enough statements from the Russians claiming the opposite. Likewise, there were many American soldiers who said that the way it was told was not true. and also diaries and reports from guards in the concentration camps contradict what most claim.
I don't want to say that it wasn't like that, but you can't confirm that it was like that, because the winners tell the story. Because there were also survivors who said that they had to live in barracks and only had enough to eat so that they didn't die, that the hygiene was a catastrophe, but that they were still treated well given the circumstances@@LaurentValette1234

Ezekről a hallgat ez a mocskos, szemforgató hazug világ. Természetesen én mindet elítélem.
The lady wasn't crying over the music, she was crying because she never thought she'd be able to preform again because of a brain issue. She was not only able to preform but did so with her daughter watching on. I'm only pointing this out because a lot of people are missing out on this beautiful moment.

That violin is crying the cries of a million
I couldn't say it better than you!
I'd say the violin is the cries of the children, the oboe represents the adults and the rest of the orchestra are accents of the millions. Each slightly different all encompassing into one horrible event, united by there faith eliminated because of it 😢. The event conducted by evil, mad men who required a scape goat to hide their own selfish deplorable actions behind, may they burn in hell. Should innocents warrant such hate, no. If you ever have a problem with an individual, resolve it with them. Do not tarnish others who resemble them or are affiliated with them. Look to Jim Jefferies Hate breeds Hate sketch.

Hate to be pedantic in this case, but it's not a violin, it's a viola, and it's not an oboe, it's an English horn.
It doesn’t matter what kind of music you like; hip hop, techno, disco, country, salsa, whatever. You should always have an appreciation for a beautiful orchestral composition.

This movie should be shown in every middle school and high school history class so every young person to never let this happen ever again.
Middle school might be too soon, they would be too young to truly understand, and would just be traumatized by the brutality of some scenes.
Spielberg himself said you should wait until you're 18, though I kinda disagree and would say 15-16 should be old enough.

@@justinfitzsimmons9635 They don't need to just see it, they need to understand it. And 12-13 years old might be too young for that.
Look at the actress of the girl in red. She watched the movie at 11 years old, despite her promise to Spielberg, and she was horrified and blamed her parents for having let her play in that movie. It's only a few years later that she truly understood the importance of the movie and felt proud to have been in it.
Beautiful. Powerful. It brings tears to my eyes.

At the end when the credits started to go up no one left their seats. Literally everyone was crying and couldn't stand up. Afterwards I told my girlfriend that I thought it was good the entire film was in black and white. She then asked me "was it in black and white".

I literally got goosebumps reading this comment. Very well said.
Watching the musicians trying their damndest to hold it all together is just so warming. It really shows how much they feel it too.
Especially if you’re a wind player or vocalist.. you can emote all you want but if you actually start feeling it too much and cry, it affects your breath control. It’s hard playing emotional pieces like this. You’re making the audience cry but have to hold it in yourself for your best performance 🥹
Cor anglais player Davida Scheffers has a painful neuromuscular condition which disrupted her career as a musician.
Despite her fear that she might never be able to play with a professional orchestra again, Davida’s dream was to play with the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra.
And last year, she managed it.
In a performance with the orchestra, Davida managed to play the entire cor anglais solo from John Williams’ Schindler’s List theme, before bursting into tears during Simone Lamsma’s violin solo.
Seeing that woman cry made me want to cry too its so moving.
She's not crying because of the music or what the song means, she's crying because she was finally given a chance to play in an orchestra despite her disability.
That,s where music makes us all the same
Музыка - это лучшее творение человека! Все эмоции и чувства без слов передать! Спасибо композитору и исполнителям, просто божественно.

(Note to everyone: that significance will be meaningful only to those who have seen the film.)
? Movie?
Not sure of what's behind your "?Movie?" comment. Does it imply that you are not aware that Schindler's List is a Spielberg movie about the Holocaust? It was filmed in black and white. One extremely moving scene showed a very young Jewish girl who, with the only color in the entire film, was wearing a red dress. It was clear that she, along with many other Jews in the scene, was being herded to her death.
Music can still make me cry. I am grateful.
Pain 😢
@AndrewBower-zf7bj Yes. This ripps me into pieces I don't want it to ever be different. Pain and remembrance is what is necessary.
It's such an incredibly moving piece of music. It's even more powerful when you watch the film.
My grandfather died in the Buchenwald concentration camp. The pain of people who lost their loved ones in this nightmare is known to my family. And watching the movie Schindler's List, hearing this melody, we always remember our relatives. None of the dead should be forgotten. As long as we remember, our loved ones are alive.

As a German it always deeply saddens me to see comments that deny what happened around 80 years ago. Its sad that our nation was and still is stained by these events, I'm glad to say that my great-Grandfather was himself not a Nazi but he killed, every man, woman and indeed child he killed had parents ,sons ,daughters ,mothers and fathers. He was always ashamed of what he did, never spoke about the crimes he committed to his children. As an example in 1944 his company had taken control of a Polish village, he was an Oberst (colonel) so a high field rank. His unit was meant to make the village defense ready. Around 3 weeks after his transferral here the Soviet lines were drawing closer. A Waffen-SS division entered the town around about then. They had received orders to kill any civilians who were deemed partisan worthy. Using his high rank he protested yet his protest failed as the order had been dictated by none other than Heinrich Himmler. The SS unit left the town but my Great-Grandfather had to complete his orders. Unfortunately he also had a large bond with the villagers, he spoke Polish, French, English and Russian fluently, and killing them would take a large mental toll on him. This occurrence would stay with him for years and according to my Great-Grandmother he would often have nightmares of it. During the ensuing battle in the village he would be hit by shrapnel and captured by soviet forces. in 1951 he would return home.

No words ....only tears😢
I remember when my wife and I decided to see Schindler's list at the movie theater. We avoided seeing it for a while because we knew how difficult it would be, and how emotional we would get because our ancestors were from eastern Europe, and we had likely lost relatives in the Holocaust. So, we decided to travel far from our home to a cinema in a rural area where we wouldn't know anyone and most people likely had no connection to the Holocaust. The one thing I will never forget was right after the movie ended...you could hear a pin drop as people silently and slowly made their way out of the theater. There was no talking, no looking around, just people staring straight ahead and in deep thought. That was just the confirmation my wife and I needed; that we are all in this thing called life together, and that our ability to care for each other, to empathize with each other, and to help each other will be the glue that binds us and assures a future of peace and compassion for generations to come.
Thank you for sharing this!
Your comment has restored faith in goodness of human spirit and shared positivity in these troubled times. I experienced this film many years ago. Tthere was a pin drop silence when the black & white shot of the Jews morphed into the present day ones walking to pay respects to Schindler. As the movie ended, the audience went on an ovation as if by an unseen switch while i could not hold back tears. How much one man and one small thing mean to so many!

This is my favorite. Been listening to this video over for years. Wish my dad were alive to hear this.
The crying woman is davida, she is professional musician but ill...she wont be able to play later, this is 2014. That is why she is so emotional.
Crystal clear to see (if you are able to see) that at this point it ment the world to her, i from a gypsy musician family so I see..., 😉😭 we say.... Es ist dass Leiden das schafft dass Leidenschaft entfacht.
I pray Davida is well and playing somewhere.
It's explained in the description.
I pray Davida be well and happy go lucky wherever she is she is my friend and angel :)
Where iS Davida now.?write me please, how she iss feeling now. What happened to her? I m crying listening
"There will be generations, because of what you did."
Just watched the movie. I am crying. Literally sitting before this in tears.
@@keste5958 ahahahahahhahahaha get a life
@@pattycrabby9749 Are you serious? If you think that you're cool just because you didn't cry watching this movie, you're not. Just so you know.
Easily one of the saddest movies I've ever scene.
There will be generations that will do same what happened to their grandfathers to innocent people in Palestine
I am so moved by this masterpiece of musical perfection and very touched by Davida's emotions. Her strength and courage prevailed to perform so beautifully as she did. God bless everybody who helped to make this happen for Davida
How wonderful the violinist is perfect and Davida’s is played with such passion and compassion. I cried so much at such beauty.xx🐓🌻😘🦋💗🐞🐥🥰
I want to share something with all of you that holds dear to me and my family. It's about my grandfather and his two best friends who went off to war. My grandfather served in Vietnam with his two best friends Rigo and Carlos. My grandfather didn't have any brothers but he looked at Rigo and Carlos as his own brothers. Not knowing English they were from a poor town in Puerto Rico. They grew up since they were 7 and would play outdoors daily, helping elders with their needs, from what my father told me. He mentioned they were always together. My dad was told by my grandfather before he left for Vietnam that he's going with Rigo y Carlos and to not worry cause they will all be back home together soon. When the war was over my grandfather came home by himself alone. My grandfather never talked about the actions that took place. He was hated called a baby killer, a rapist, a murderer. Years have gone by he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's' and had to stay in a nursing home. When I and my twin brother visit him opening the door, he's just staring out the window with his blanket over his shoulders. We would pull up by his side and greet him and kiss his cheek and He would just tear up sobbing saying "Rigo y Carlos estás aquí, ¿cómo estás aquí? (Rigo and Carlos your here how are you here) He doesn't remember me and my brother so we just pretend we are Rigo and Carlos. in 2020 of May he had passed away and when we went to his home to clean up we had found an old journal he had shared writing with Rigo and Carlos of what happened during in Vietnam. They took turns writing and 22 pages after Rigo wasn't writing anymore and Carlos stopped writing after page 37. My grandfather continued to write but his handwriting wasn't clear and the pages were wet from raindrops or tears and there was soo much pain through the whole journal. There wasn't any more writing but on the very last page with my grandfather's old childhood picture with Carlos and Rigo smiling when they were kids, it said "Nuestra bandera no vuela al viento, vuela con el último aliento de cada uno de los que hemos muerto y protegido por ella". (Our flag doesn't fly do to the wind, it flies with the last breathes of every single one of us who has died and protected it) Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing his, I hope you the best
Thank you...
Tristemente hermosos, gracias por compartirlo.
I had goosebumps while reading this. God bless the souls of the ones who have passed away.
The ending of the movie really got me, when he started crying saying that he could have done more. Legendary movie man, Liam Neeson did an amazing job.
Indeed. The Oscar made the mistake that year.
I always thought that was the part where they screwed up! With Liam Nielsen overdoing it. It didn't seem to be in keeping with his cool, sober character. He just suddenly lost it.

Happy 91st, John Williams!
February 8th, 1932
Last season, John Williams became 90.
February 8th, 2022.
Davida, I regularly return to your amazing performance. Breathtaking. I cry every time, together with you. Love and a hug
The woman: Davida Scheffers has a painful neuromuscular condition which disrupted her career as a musician.
Despite her fear that she might never be able to play with a professional orchestra again, Davida’s dream was to play with the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra.
And last year, she managed it.
In a performance with the orchestra, Davida managed to play the entire cor anglais solo from John Williams’ Schindler’s List theme, before bursting into tears during Simone Lamsma’s violin solo.
It was a powerful moment that affected both the audience and orchestra. Look out for Davida’s daughter in the audience, who had just turned 18 that day.
Well done, Davida - what a remarkable achievement!
I've watched this video so many times, it's so touching... every time
this really made my day better
Thank you! This made me cry even more!
And here we all were, thinking she was crying for her Holocaust casualties... whne it was all really about personal ambition. And she's a hero for it. The world in a nutshell.
@@nilssundblad1637
We don’t know why she cried. It was emotional. Music is meant to stir emotions.
I do have to ask though… why did you say her Holocaust casualties?
She deserves the applause. Her play is just amazing, full of emotions from the bottom of her heart.
Pour la petite histoire, si Davida Scheffers est émue aux larmes c’est, d’une part, dû à l’émotion transmise dans la musique, mais surtout parce qu’étant atteinte d’une maladie neuromusculaire grave, qui avait mis fin à sa carrière musicale des années auparavant, elle ne pensait pas être capable de rejoindre un orchestre et encore moins de jouer un solo.
I can never avoid tears. There is a lot of pain in this melody. Few will understand. Only those involved understand the whole.
The amount of emotion these people show while playing is arguably the best thing about this entire performance. The combination of the music and mostly the emotions just force me to cry, it's incredible.
💔😢😢😢
@@cursed434 But thats not the reason why she cried
@@7r4iL3r what's the reason she cried 😶

The blond girl is her daughter and she had her 18th birthday. The first time i saw the video i thought the same. But she dont cry cuz of the movie or the holocaust.
@@7r4iL3r ah ok ty
When I was a child I went to take an afternoon tea at my grandmother's friend home. Our host was an elegant old lady and thus I asked her with astonishment why she had a number tatoed on her arm. She tenderly answered me "You are too young to understand now, my friend, I'll tell you about the story of this tattoo when you'll be older". I never saw her again but when I learned what the tattoo was I cried. She probably has passed away now but I often remember her.
François 🥺🙏🏻
🕊️
Ich danke dir, dass du diese Erinnerung mit uns teilst. Ich bin sehr ergriffen.
@Zein Timur It was a large number tatoed in black on her left arm, if I remember well.
💔😭
This music makes you feel the pain of every human being in this world. 😭
Oh my... I'm crying... so sad... so beautiful... such beautiful people ❤❤❤❤
I’ve never heard a music instrument crying. That violin was crying for sure. So emotional! Truly amazing ♥️

You can listen this if you want to

Isn't it just!so beautiful.
the violin and the Saxophon... the ONLY 2 Instruments that can cry and give laughter also...

For what it's worth. I give you a virtual hugg.
Thank you for protecting us
I salute you, may God protect you
@@alaizebleiizeketj8429 Thank You for your service sir. May G-d bless you.
Hugs to you
I always wonder how it is possible to play such moving songs without shedding tears. Thank you, I cried too, and such pure tears heal and cleanse the soul. And what's more, it's her daughter's 18th birthday. A beautiful moment!
Beautiful, just beautiful. The only film that actually makes me cry. This music is usually what does it. Beautiful.
when Steven Spielberg encountered John Williams to score the movie, Williams said: I can't do it! You need someone better... Spielberg answered: I know, but they're all dead.
dudo mucho que Spielberg haya dicho eso
I was available
@@arg9980 Lee más por favor
I have often thought about the same thing Spielberg would have meant by that remark. And it tears me up just as hearing this gorgeous music does...
andres lapman John Williams confirmed this in an interview. Look it up.
"He who saves one life, saves the world entire."
tell that to the person who saved hitler in WWI
too soon, okeh ill go now

And save the future for another lives.

@the guy next to you did you get that comment from some one else?? Before. Coz I feel like I bit see this comment before.
Beautiful and so moving. Thank you for sharing. We must never forget. 😢
Watch so many times and every time is different emotions and what a great piece
When that woman cried I cried too Peace and love in the world.
Wow. Same here. Truly remarkable, Ms. Davida. Well done!
Me too. wow. PLS LIVE IN PEACE, BEAUTY, FREEDOM and LOVE. THNX
❤
Me too ... whole range of emotion, including love and appreciation for this music and these artists ...
When both of you cried, I cried too
John Williams is a brilliant composer who can swing emotions with every note. His partnership with Steven has delivered sublime art to billions of humans.
The last days of by Hans Zimmer is much better
@@agm9525 Greetings from Central Europe. I agree 100%. Recently I have been listening to Williams music for movies. As brilliant as Schindler's List is, the rest of it suffers from a certain fragmentation. By alternating tense and muted passages, which are impressive, but do not form an arc together, they do not form a whole. The compositions do not "hold together", they have a scattered architecture. As if Schindler's List was written by someone else.
And partnership with George 😉
In todays Hollywood neither of them would be diverse enough to get a job and instead we would have mediocrity under the guise of progressivism.
Nie mogę spać, nawet nie mogę cierpieć, oni są w mojej świadomości kamieniem nieszęśliwi przed śmiercią poniewierani.
The music and this performance is heartbreaking and yet extremely beautiful !
heartbreaking and fantastically acted - great performance by Ms. Davida Scheffers
Show your children this beautiful song, and the history that it portrays. Teach them to be kind to one another. Do not let history repeat itself.
It’s not a song, there is no singing.
@@HumansAreShitFactories lol
@@HumansAreShitFactories lol 😀 but come on man this person is trying to give a meaningful message. We dont need to troll him or her. 😀
History already repeats. In Ukraine
@@EmilyPeace7yes lots of Russians killing Ukrainians :(
John Williams: "You need a better composer than I am for this film."
Steven Spielberg: "I know. But they're all dead."
Apparently not.
robert howard please... all soldiers. American? Hahah ..no.All soldiers,
Is that a actually quote ?
@@leveitantern2822 Yes, you can Google it.
Your just looking for attention. Noting more!
♥️
Gosh that was brilliant! I was so drawn to the emotions coming out of the soloists, left me sobbing so late at night😭💜
I commented on this video not to long ago, I loved it so much I put it in my favorites list and I played it again for the second time tonight. All I can say is bravo, it repeated its spell on me again.
John Williams is a genius. When Steven approached him to do the score for Schindler's List, he responded "You need a better composer than I for this film." And Steven replied "You're right, but they're all dead!"
That’s like the best quote ever.
Wow
Morricone was still alive at the time.
@@rbweinbaum1 pretty sure that Morricone would have done a fantastic job, but I believe that Spielberg said that to Williams as a compliment since he is also one of the very best musicians in modern history.
God bless these two masters of cinematography and music for this beautiful movie and music. “Lest We Forget” 🔴
This is by far one of the most impactful performances I have seen so far. Very sad but also wonderful to see these unbelievably talented musicians creating such an atmosphere.
My eleven year old grandson played this piece for his first recital on the violin. As young as he is, he got the essence of the piece and I can see him playing this piece with greater passion each time he plays it. I am indeed proud.
Would love to hear his rendition please
Bravo a votre petit fils✡️🕎❤️🙏

If this is not the saddest, most gut wrenching melody ever, I don't what is. Thanks John, for making me cry every time I hear it.
I absolutely agree… there is no comparison.

So beautifully said.
The women tearing while playing she's a angel she puts her entire soul in the music
Every time I listen to this music I feel like I’m slowly suffocating from how beautiful it is. The music makes my flesh feel like it’s burning to ashes and then smoked out into the heavens. Bravo John Williams. Cheers from Poland 🇵🇱
and the fact that this was very likely her last performance ever bc she has MS :(
